Mom: If you want to come and stay that would be awesome.
Me: I can't believe you used the word 'awesome'.
Mom: So what is strange about the work "awesome". Is it old fashioned???
Um, no, not exactly. I would just have felt like I was talking to my mother if you had said 'wonderful' or 'great'. Awesome is just a lingo that seemed reserved for pals, friends, or..kids. I just got this awesome glimpse of how as we get older, you get hipper and I get more formal. At least there's hope for me as don't 'they' say you eventually turn into your parents??

Nice to be acknowledged as "hipper" at my age. And, people actually get more unique with time.
